The 5G-SMART project will work with main stakeholders in manufacturing sectors and industry forums, which will smooth the process of 5G adoption in the manufacturing ecosystem. The high-level objective of 5G-SMART will be realized through seven detailed objectives. These objectives are focused on 5G adoption in real-world manufacturing factory setup, new research concepts for future 5G standards relating to manufacturing applications, dissemination and business challenges for stakeholders and industry forums.

To demonstrate and evaluate 5G technologies and architecture capabilities for smart manufacturing use cases by validating related 5G KPIs defined in ITU/3GPP and 5G PPP as well as 5G support of concurrent usages of network resources by different vertical domains

To identify, assess and propose innovative advanced “industrial” 5G KPIs with more focus on industrial characteristics

To identify, assess and propose new 5G features targeting connected industries

To identify viable business models for 5G manufacturing use cases

To identify regulatory aspects with direct impact on the realization of 5G for smart manufacturing

To disseminate and exploit 5G-SMART outcomes and contribute to standards development organizations, regulatory forums (3GPP/ITU-T/IETF/ETSI), scientific and industrial domains
